Pink Poogle Toy Forum

I came up with an idea today, looking at my Photobucket account. I know a lot of us have been making graphics for quite a long time...and we improve as time goes on. But do we really know how much we do? So let's do a then and now!

I'll start

Then:







Ewwww.

Now:







It's amazing to me how much I truely have improved. I didn't think I was doing that well in graphics because I see how many of you are better than I am but it makes me happy to see this.

Now it's your turn!

Marissa: If this is in the wrong place, I'm sorry and feel free to move it

Too bad I can't say I've gotten a lot better.

EDIT: I guess I HAVE gotten better..

Zero set 13 of 26

I'm noticing quite a lot of scrolling and slow page loading time. Can we try to limit the direct linking to 10 pictures in a post?

_________________

wow, everyone improved so much! is it from practice and following tutorials? I know that's how I improved..

I really like bluehawaii's blends! they look great

Would you believe I've never followed a tutorial in my life? <_< I just basically practiced and watched what everyone else is doing. ^_^ I'm so glad to see how much everyone really has improved though!

i've never used a tutorial either. i've just looked at other peoples stuff to get ideas, and played around with the functions in PSP.

i havent been making graphics that long, as i havent been at PPT that long... but anyway, observing the no more than 10 images in a post, mine are here

Darklegendary, your sets look great from then too

Then:




Now :




I only started working with graphics this year... So its not all that huge of a difference... But it does prove that people can only get better.

Whoops, that's the animated version. Guess I never got the new version over to this computer.

EDIT - No...no!!! I can't believe I have it!!! Guess this means I seriously need to clean out 250free. XD

Two big changes from when I first started making graphics: I used to make myself sets, but now I just stick with avs, for some reason. =D Two is: I never ever used to use gradients or glow, but my 'style' has become heavily dependant on the two. =P
